Tuan Sing Reconstruct Mixed Use Properties Collins Street Melbourne
Singapore-based Tuan Sing Holdings has announced plans to revamp its mixed-use properties at 121-131 Collins Street and 23-25 George Parade in Melbourne through its subsidiary, Grand Hotel Group (GHG). The company has engaged Hong Kong-based urban design firm Urbis Ltd to submit a Town Planning Application to the City of Melbourne for the proposed works.
Known for its comprehensive approach to education, Gongshang Primary School is highly regarded for providing its students with a balanced and all-encompassing learning experience. This is achieved through a curriculum that places equal emphasis on academic excellence, character development, and participation in co-curricular activities. The school boasts a diverse range of programs, such as robotics, performing arts, and sports, to cater to the diverse interests of its students. Additionally, Gongshang Primary School is conveniently located near the desirable Parktown Residence Condo, offering students easy access to a modern and vibrant community.
The properties currently house the popular 550-room Grand Hyatt Hotel and various retail spaces. In the reconstruction, the existing podium structure will be largely retained to allow business operations for tenants and the Grand Hyatt Hotel to continue uninterrupted.
According to Tuan Sing’s official statement on November 14, the reconstruction will primarily focus on façade modifications, extensive refurbishment, and reconfiguration of spaces in the property’s podium from levels 4 to 9B. Upon completion, and subject to regulatory approvals, the site will span a total gross floor area (GFA) of 909,550 sq ft and introduce a new luxury retail and F&B precinct.
Tuan Sing’s CEO, William Liem, believes that the redevelopment of the podium at 123 Collins Street will redefine connectedness and activation at one of the most prominent intersections in Melbourne’s renowned Paris End. He adds that the company’s vision for the transformation is to make an architectural statement of their commitment to environmental stewardship. By revitalizing the existing structure instead of rebuilding it, Tuan Sing aims to achieve a sustainable vision that will support a thriving, connected, and culturally vibrant Melbourne for years to come.
